A delightful twist on roasted broccoli with a sesame soy glaze.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal texture.
Spread the frozen broccoli evenly on a greased baking sheet.
Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, sugar, salt, soy sauce, and sesame oil until smooth.
Ensure the cornstarch is fully dissolved to avoid lumps.
Pour the sauce evenly over the broccoli.
Toss the broccoli gently to coat it evenly.
Cover the baking sheet with aluminum foil and roast in the oven for 20 minutes.
Covering helps steam the broccoli, making it tender.
Remove the foil and roast for an additional 5 minutes to crisp up the edges.
This step adds a delightful crunch to the broccoli.
Serve the roasted broccoli warm, garnished with sesame seeds if desired.
Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
